| The
client's International business objective was to provide European
banks with the benefits of being able to obtain all the services they
needed to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving marketplace from
one source.
As a result, the client became the first and only integrated company
in the retail payment systems market offering a full range of products
and services to banks from one company on one technology system.
Banks can make a choice from an expanding range of products including
a full portfolio of brands accepted European-wide and, through the
MasterCard alliance, brands accepted globally.
Mastercard Europe (previously called Europay International until the merger in 2001) offers its more than 9000 members the widest possible range of payment products and services that are accepted across Europe, and through its alliance with MasterCard International, the rest of the world. More than 1.7 billion MasterCard, Cirrus and Maestro logos are present on credit, charge and debit cards in circulation today. More than 28 million locations accept these cards. MasterCard customers are more than 15,000 member financial institutions, serving consumers in 210 countries and territories.
